Ok...I am new to Squirrelmail. My domain name is
thilanka.net I have also made a new folder (mail) for
the squirrelmail. Here's what my configurations are. I
have a mailserver running on Redhat 7.2 and a webserver
( apache ) running on a win2k system. All I am trying
to do is get a webmail interface working so that I can
check my mail from anywhere by going to a web page. I
have installed all the necessary stuff and when I go to
http://www.thilanka.net/mail/index.php I get the following
page. Please check it out at http://www.thilanka.net. Click on
the sqmail link to see the error message. I know I have
some ways to go but I am stuck. Any help would be
appreciated. Anyone can contact me at
thilanka@... or thilanka@... I am on
icq (UIN = 12863241) or msn ( thilankas@... )
or AIM ( yakpatiya )
If someone is out there who could point me in the right
direction I will be eternally grateful.
Regards,
Thilanka

Every time I try to get SM to work with Mysql I get the following errors,
any idea how to rectify this situation?
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cacheprefvalues() (previously declared in
/usr2/apache_1.3.26-ssl-mail-php/htdocs/squirrelmail-1.2.8/functions/db_prefs.php:40)
in
/usr2/apache_1.3.26-ssl-mail-php/htdocs/squirrelmail-1.2.8/functions/file_prefs.php
on line 18
Thx in advance.

WHich Problem? The users either use pine (via IMAP) or SM (via IMAP).
I also use mutt and I simply use this:
ln -s .squirrelmail squirrelmail
to have maildirs without a dot.

Exactly. Gain speed where you can!

Greetings, Sofoklis!
I just checked our translations page, and it would seem that
we do *not* yet have a translation for Greek. If I remember
correctly, you are the second person in recent months to ask
about a Greek translation.
We would LOVE to have a Greek translation, however!
Would you be interested in helping us to create one?
We have a page on the website with information on current
translations, information on how to create and submit
language files, and people to contact about translation work.
http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/LanguageTranslation
We also have a mailing list for our translation team, with
searchable archives, and friendly people to answer questions
or help get you started, if you're interested.
http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/squirrelmail-i18N
Thank you for your interest... and hopefully for your help!

Yep, I have both configured KMail to use Maildir and IMAP and both works,=

I get the problems I mentioned with folders for example. I think it would=

prefered for the health of the imap-server to be able to config KMail to =

the Courier-IMAP-style of Maildir to share the ~/Maildir .

Not SM, but your IMAP daemon does that. You're using Courier?

If we can dispel the delusion that learning about computers should be
an activity of fiddling with array indexes and worrying whether X is
an integer or a real number, we can begin to focus on programming as a
source of ideas.

SquirrelMail uses IMAP to connect to the server, and respects
whatever your IMAP server tells it to use. Technically SquirrelMail
just issues certain commands to get listings and such, and it is up
to your IMAP server to return the information. Past that point, your
IMAP server deals with all the requests. From what it sounds like,
you're trying to get KMail to access the ~/Maildir folder directly,
instead of via the IMAP server. Try configuring KMail to connect to
your IMAP server and see if that gets the results you are after :)

Hi,
I'm trying to get different apps to share the same Maildir-structure... I=
have=20
realized that SM likes to create folders under ~/Maildir with a leading "=
=2E",=20
but other applications like KMail is not using leading dots in their=20
foldernames...=20
Is SM using the "right way" of the Maildir-structure? How have you guys s=
olved=20
this problem? Can one adjust some parameters in the SM-config to have the=
=20
Maildir-structure work between different apps?
Thanks for any answers!

On my home network I have
IE6.0 SP1 on Win2k - Works!
IE5.5 SP2 on Win98 - Works!
IE6.0 on Win98 - failed my tests :-(
So, I've finally found 2 machines that work, but I don't know why.
From the version numbers, I can't isolate why some machines work, and
others don't.
I'm still baffled,

Those using 1.2.7 should ideally upgrade. There are rpms, or
tarballs on the squirrelmail website. It does affect all versions of
1.2.7, and not just the RedHat specific verion.

Yes, when bug_report works correctly, it fills the To: field with
the mailing address for the user group - and prefills the message
with some configuration details.

I've tried IE5.5 SP2 on Win2k
IE6.0 on Win2k
Mozilla 1.2a on Win2k
IE5.5 SP2 on WinNT wks
IE5.5 SP2 on WinNT wks (*1)
IE5.0 on Win95
IE5.0 SP2 on Win95
IE5.5 SP2 on Win95
IE5.0 SP1 on WinNT srv
IE5.0 SP2 on WinNT srv
IE5.5 SP2 on WinNT srv
IE5.5 SP2 on WinNT srv
IE5.5 SP2 on WinNT srv (*2)
(*1) could save display preference and generate bug report
could not save draft or send message
(*2) could save display preferences
Some of my users have tried IE on Win98 and they claim it doesn't work.
I'll have to try it again from my home PC - but last time I tried it,
it worked (IE6.0 SP1, Win2k).

I'm having trouble finding any machine that works completely.

Yes, I can see the changes affecting the theme when I login as test.
I'm still baffled,
